Hey /trv/
A friend and I are planning our third roadtrip to the US this year. We have a two-weeks possibility this oncoming february. We don't know how is the situation in Oregon, Washington and Northern California. We also consider driving from Miami to Houston.
Any advice on good winter itinerary ? What roadtrips have you taken ?

Why Miami to Houston? Sounds like a pretty dull route. Drove home from Houston to NC once after a plane transport foul-up, it was not vacation-worthy.

How bad is it ? We wanted to go south to have at least decent temperature !
It's either we go up north and deal with it, but then we're afraid that roads are going to be either closed or messed up, or we go south but to me it seems a bit dull as you say. However as we're from Switzerland driving in the US is pretty cool for us anyway

Flat and empty through Texas, flat and slightly less empty otherwise. If you do that route, do your research and find stops that interest you in plenty.

Is choosing a more interesting route through some warmer states not an option?

Well that's our question ! Are there more interesting itinerary in the south that could be worth driving ?
I would go southwest. Miami to Houston is a chore, not a road trip. You will not have a good time. Southern California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, on the other hand, much more scenic and cool to drive through (still boring parts).

This, though some things you'd want to see in the SW are going to be inaccessible due to weather.
